Mike Epps

“Y’all think I’m going to hell for that one?” Mike Epps asks the audience after a particularly over-the-top bit in his special Underrated … Never Faded & X-Rated. The response sounds like a unanimous “Yes.” Whether he’s raging against trade school commercials or admitting that people still call him Day-Day (his character in Next Friday), Epps is at his best when he’s telling his profane version of the truth. If he goes to hell for that, he’ll be dragging delighted audiences along with him, riffing on how sweaty his balls are the whole way down.
